...In the fall at least. I love autumn in my home town. Of course I'm biased, but I always think its so much prettier than anywhere else I may reside. The way the changing leaves reflect off the reservoir, and how the streets are engulfed in a canopy of color...simple, breath-taking beauty.
I went home Friday to spend an evening with some friends and family, drinking oktoberfest and pumpkin beers, painting pumpkins, and celebrating my birthday. I love spending time with those constant people in your life...you can make a great time out of nothing, trust their advice (because its always in your best interest), and laugh about jokes that only your "group" will get. It's nice to let loose and not have to worry about what anyone will think...that's what best friends and family are about :)
Before I made the long, traffic ridden drive home, I spent a couple hours volunteering in a pediatric facility for disabled children. This is always a fun, enriching...but heart wrenching experience. I should've thought not to wear the clothes I was planning on wearing home (I left straight from the center) because there were drool and boogies galore. Hey, that's what a washing machine is for, but I obviously had to change before my fall-festivities.

Today it finally got a bit chilly so I whipped out a fall jacket I had ordered over the summer. I ordered it online and the sleeves are a bit short...but besides that, its cozy.
